Supplements accomplish two things:
First, they help in the digestion and utilization of foods,
thus creating ―higher octane fuel‖ for your body.
Second, they ensure that all nutritional gaps are filled
allowing your body to efficiently and effectively burn
fat, build lean muscle tissue and fully adapt to in-
creased physical stress.

Here’s the difference:
De-conditioned, inactive people interested only in growing hair, skin and nails
probably meet their ―low metabolism‖ needs through food alone. Or, at best, might consider an inexpensive daily multi-vitamin.
However, research has proven that as you become more physically active you will
have much higher metabolic requirements. The amount and quality of your caloric intake, in conjunction with vitamin supplementation, is of utmost importance.
An analogy:
Imagine you’re invited to drive up to a mountain lakeside cabin to spend the
weekend. But then, a few days later you are asked to tow a boat up the mountain for
everybody to use. You say ―yes.‖ But now, you start to think about the condition of your car. Do you have enough air in your tires? When did you last change your anti-
freeze? What about the oil and transmission fluid? How much gas will your car burn
and should you use a higher octane? These are valid thoughts because you are about
to add physical stress to your vehicle.
The same holds true when you begin an exercise program. You increase physical
stress on your body. And, when you increase physical stress on your body, fueling it
(through proper nutrition) becomes a major consideration.
Supplements accomplish two things:
First, they help in the digestion and utilization of foods, thus creating ―higher
octane fuel‖ for your body. Second, they ensure that all nutritional gaps are filled allowing your body to efficiently and effectively burn fat, build lean mus-
cle tissue and fully adapt to increased physical stress.
OPTIMAL NUTRITION & SUPPLEMENTATION
A Single Focus

Master Formulator John E. Logsdon (1924-1998) was the master formulator of this product line.
Even after his passing, Logsdon’s research, science and experimentation is recog-
nized, today, as some of the most relevant, innovative and highly regarded works in
the fields of biochemistry and sports nutrition.
During the 1960’s, while mainstream medical experts, nutritionists and other life
science professionals were developing ―nutritional standards‖ for the general public,
Logsdon was researching the nutritional needs for athletes and active lifestyle enthu-
siasts. He quickly discovered their metabolic requirements were quite different. Spearheading a 15-year project, he learned how, why and which various blends of
nutrients were crucial to the pursuit of athletic performance, muscle gain, muscle
recovery, efficient fat-loss and stamina. And, how various vitamins, minerals and
other nutrients worked synergistically with foods in combination with increased physical stress and raised metabolism. In short, Logsdon not only proved the defi-
ciencies of the typical RDA’s (recommended daily allowances) but demonstrated the
absolute necessity for ―optimal nutrition‖ protocols when dealing with athletes and
active lifestyle enthusiasts.
Finally, in the early 1970’s, based on this research, Logsdon began to formulate
a complete, synergistic line of nutritional products specifically designed for athletes
and fitness enthusiasts. His formulations were, and are to this day, extraordinary.
All Natural Ingredients
First and foremost, these optimal nutrition formulas are all natural. This is im-portant. There is substantial scientific evidence that vitamins derived from natural
sources are more readily absorbed and assimilated by the human body — whereas
vitamins derived from inorganic chemicals are usually combined with undesirable
substances such as sugar, inorganic binders, preservatives and coal tars.
Second, each formula consists of ―source-specific‖ raw ingredients from
around the world. For example, Korean ginseng root is quite different than Sibe-rian or Chinese ginseng. Again, the level of detail in the development of these
formulations is significant.
Finally, each product requires its own set of manufacturing protocols includ-ing precision measurements, exacting temperature-controlled manufacturing proc-
esses and constant testing and analysis.
These proprietary formulas represent much of Logsdon’s life work. As such, each product has been registered, patented and trademarked.
Of note:
All daily multi-vitamin/mineral formulas contain Pancreatine 5X – one of the
highest quality and most expensive digestive enzyme complexes available
All multi-vitamin/mineral formulas contain a full complement of amino acids
You’ll also find an abundance of herbs and herbal complexes incorporated
into the formulas to help enhance absorption and utilization of food in con-
junction with the products
All products are manufactured in temperature-controlled environments to
ensure efficacy and bioavailability of natural ingredients
All tablets use natural ingredients instead of varnishes or other harsh chemi-
cals that serve as binding agents to hold it together or to make the product smell more acceptable

The confusing world of supplements
There are two types of nutritional supplement manufacturers — high-volume vs. high-quality. The most common (high-volume) is the ―general consumer‖ or retail
manufacturer. Here, the emphasis is on mass production, mass marketing, volume
sales and profitability. These manufacturers use inferior, synthetic versions of vita-
mins, minerals and other nutrients in combination with high-volume heat producing processes that often result in products with almost no bio-availability whatsoever.
(Some of these products actually pass through your entire digestive tract without
breaking-down). However, upon reading a label you could easily make a mistake
about the quality of these products. After all, a multi-vitamin is a multi-vitamin, right? Wrong. But, it’s more than just the ingredients. The manufacturing process is equally
important.
Here’s an example:
If you compare the list of ingredients on a box of Betty Crocker and Duncan
Hines brownies you’ll find they are almost exactly the same. However, bake one at
500 degrees for two hours and the other at 350 for 40 minutes… you end up with two very different brownies. You get the idea.
Super– Premium Supplements
There are only a few high-quality manufacturers. The increasing costs of quality,
all natural ingredients, potent complex formulations and strict manufacturing protocols
make these products nearly cost-prohibitive. Fortunately, most fitness professionals
understand the differences and are willing to pay the higher costs associated with higher quality products. Hence the term ―super-premium‖ is not just marketing hype.
It’s an accurate description of what you can expect in terms of quality and cost.
The commitment continues
Today, this unique, patented product line is overseen and updated by noted experts including Ed Lieskovan, Pharm.D., MBA, Dir. Analytical Instrument Chem-
istry at OFNP, Inc.; William Register, Ph.D., N.D. Director of Technical Services at
SporTelesis. Marketing and distribution is conducted exclusively through health
and fitness professional.
―Certificates of Analysis‖ are required from all suppliers. Raw materials are
re-tested at state-of-the-art laboratories. Actual manufacturing processes are per-
formed at several facilities in Southern California (all with California Pharmaceuti-cal Licenses) that manufacture under GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) and
our own strict guidelines and manufacturing process protocols.

This is our ―flagship‖ super-premium multi-vitamin / mineral supplement. As one of
the most sophisticated formulas available, it ensures adequate amounts of vitamins and
minerals as well as a full complement of amino acids. It also integrates a digestive en-zyme complex with a proprietary herbal blend to assist in uptake.
Digestive enzymes are a major consideration in the formulation and account for al-
most a third of the cost (which is why you don’t find them in most brands). As you in-crease metabolism you will naturally eat higher quality, whole foods. Digestive enzymes
help your body to break down and more fully utilize those foods. The enzyme formula
includes Amylase (carbohydrate digestion), Protease (protein digestion) and Lipase (fat
digestion).
Compare: We invite you to compare this product to all other daily multi-vitamin /
mineral products. From potency levels, complete amino acid profiles, digestive enzymes
and ingestion protocol, there is no comparable multi-vitamin / mineral supplement.
Multi-dosing is best: Numerous products tout the advantages of ―time-release‖
or A.M. / P.M. type products. They are fine for the average de-conditioned, non-physical person. However, athletes, active lifestyle and fitness enthusiasts have much higher re-
quirements and should consider multi-dosing throughout the day.
The digestion system operates similar to a conveyor belt. As food passes through, it
picks and chooses whatever nutrients it needs at a given time. The more times per day
you can supply a full range of nutrients, through foods and supplements, the more effi-
cient and effective your body will become — functioning at a higher level.
For optimal results: Multi-dose throughout the day AFTER a meal or snack.
Example: 1 after breakfast, 1 after lunch, 1 after mid day snack, 1 after dinner
In-season athletes may wish to increase dosage—consult with coach or trainer

DAILY / FOUNDATION
For Women Only is a complete vitamin-mineral combination that enhances good nutri-
tion, exercise and proper rest. It has been specially formulated for women. It also is an excellent formulation for the adult premenopausal woman as it helps in coping with the
tensions and stresses of everyday living. The emphasis is on vitamin C, B-6, and the miner-
als magnesium and zinc. The fat-soluble vitamins A, D and E are present in water-disperse
form. This form increases absorption and decreases the side effect of oily skin, which occurs occasionally with the oily form of these vitamins.
The water-soluble vitamin C and B-complex are prepared in a sustained-release form so
that absorption is gradual and the benefits are felt over the entire day. Digestive enzymes are
also present to help the breakdown of fats, protein and carbohydrates, and to assist in ab-
sorption of vitamins and minerals as well.
Reduces Cramps:
The relatively high amount of vitamin B-6, (300 mg.) in For Women Only, helps alleviate
annoying premenstrual symptoms including: nervous tension, irritability, breast tenderness
and congestion, weight gain and bloating due to water and salt retention, craving for sweets, increased appetite, loss of energy, and the inability to cope and perform. Furthermore, For
Women Only also effectively corrects the nutritional imbalance caused by the use of hormo-
nal contraceptive pills. Magnesium, B-6 and zinc help regulate the menstrual cycle and
reduce cramps.
Controls Oily Skin:
For Women Only contains vitamin C, which through its anti-histamine effect, reduces the
allergic reactions some women exhibit. The mineral calcium is not over-emphasized in For
Women Only because of its interference with magnesium absorption. However, since vita-
min D helps increase the intestinal absorption of calcium, it has been included. The dosage
of vitamin A, found in For Women Only, (12,500 I.U.,) is below the smallest dose (40,000 I.U.) required to produce toxicity in some women when taken contiguously over 6 -8 years.
However, it is recommended that no other vitamin A supplements be taken. Vitamin A,
zinc and B-6 have been shown to help control oily skin and acne.

Lipotropic Plus is scientifically-engineered to assist in the breakdown, distribution and
burning (oxidation) of fatty acids. During exercise (particularly cardiovascular) fatty acids are released from adipose tissue and are transported through the blood to the working mus-
cles where they are utilized for energy. The active ingredients actually accelerate the fat-
burning process by breaking down fat cells into smaller particles (emulsification) to be
used for fuel during exercise. This breakdown or emulsification of fat cells into smaller particles is similar to how soap breaks down grease on dishes.
Here’s a simple descriptive visual: Open a can of vegetable soup. Floating on the top
are big fat globules and little fat globules. Imagine they are your body-fat traveling through the bloodstream to your muscle tissue where they will eventually be burned as
fuel. The smaller fat globules will get there more quickly as they travel more freely
through the blood stream. That is the role of Lipotropic Plus — to help fat travel more
freely to its final destination.
Lipotropic Plus also increases levels of energy and stamina during exercise while pro-
viding resistance to fatigue.

Chromium helps insulin metabolize fat, turn protein into muscle and convert sugar into
energy. ChromeMate®, a unique form of niacin-bound chromium, is designed to optimize
energy output. It accomplishes this by increasing the amount of glucose available for en-ergy production nearly twenty-fold. It also is the ―master‖ nutrient for controlling blood
sugar, which in turn, curbs sugar cravings.
Chromium deficiency can be caused by exercise (up to five times the normal rate), con-sumption of sugars and refined carbohydrates. Since most credible fat-loss programs in-
clude aerobic activity, ChromeMate supplementation is essential in order to recover chro-
mium loss. Also, because it supports the conversion of food to energy and promotes me-
tabolism.
Significant findings were reported by researchers at the University of Texas, who looked
at the effect of chromium supplementation and exercise training on obese women. The
study examined chromium supplementation, with or without exercise training, on 43 women. Researchers examined both chromium picolinate and chromium polynicotinate.
They concluded that ―exercise training combined with chromium polynicotinate supple-
mentation resulted in significant weight loss and lowered the insulin response to an oral
glucose load.‖
In addition to its ability to regulate blood sugar/insulin levels, chromium is also linked
to cardiovascular wellness. Various studies have shown its ability to reduce hypertension
and to lower cholesterol. In 1993, researchers at Auburn University showed that supple-mentation with 200 mcg of chromium (as ChromeMate) significantly lowered moderate
levels of cholesterol by an average of 14% and improved total cholesterol HDL ("good")
cholesterol ratios by 7% in male athletes.
In a more recent study, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center showed
that a combination of ChromeMate and grape seed extract significantly lowered both total
cholesterol levels and LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels by 16.5% and 20%, respectively, in
people with elevated blood cholesterol levels.
Chromium levels are known to decrease with age and chromium-rich foods such as
organ meats and wheat germ are often NOT included in many Americans' diets. This may have an influence on possible chromium deficiency.

There are two forms of chromium. The inexpensive stuff called picolinate
and a high-quality niacin-bound form know as polynicotinate. Again, the differ-
ence is quality.
ChromeMate’s patented oxygen-coordinated, chromium-niacin complex is the
most potent of all - over 18 times more potent than any other form of niacin-
bound chromium. ChromeMate is absorbed and retained by the body 300% more than picolinate.

Super L-Carnitine is essential for fat burning. I.B. Fritz and K.T.N. Yue, physiologists
from the University of Michigan, discovered that Carnitine actually accelerates the fat-
burning process in the liver and muscles. Without it, fat is unable to penetrate the walls of the mitochondria of the muscle cells. Carnitine is the shuttle that carries fat into your
body’s furnaces (muscles) to be burned for energy. Super L-Carnitine increases the rate of
fat utilization for fuel.
Unfortunately, the richest natural sources of Carnitine are meats such as sheep, lamb
and beef — which are also high in calories and saturated fats. Plus they’d have to be eaten
in excessive quantities to supply sufficient amounts of Carnitine. One serving of Super L-
Carnitine is equal to one and one half pounds of beef without the calories and fat.
Here’s a simple analogy to demonstrate how Super L-Carnitine works. Imagine your
blood stream is a river. Your body-fat cells are little people in boats floating down the
river to reach their final destination: The Muscle Hotel, (muscle tissue-where fat will be burned as fuel for energy). But, when they arrive, they find the door too heavy to open.
Super L-Carnitine is the doorman to the Muscle Hotel. It allows your body-fat to more
easily enter (permeate) your muscle tissue to be burned as fuel energy.
The primary function of Carnitine is to facilitate the transport of fatty acids from the
cell’s cytoplasm across the mitochondria membrane to the interior of the mitochondria
where oxidation occurs (fat-burning process). Without carnitine as a carrier, the fatty acids
are unable to penetrate the membrane of the mitochondria. This will result in a decreased rate of fat utilization and energy. L-Carnitine also helps to remove by-products of fatty
acid metabolism and other toxic compounds from within the cells.

Metabolic Optimizer is one of the most precisely formulated and best nutritional delivery systems
ever created. Here’s why we say this.
If you’re enrolled in a credible weight-management program (one that includes exercise), you
know by now that it’s often difficult to consume enough high-quality, low-fat calories. Metabolic
Optimizer allows you to consume enough calories to meet your metabolic requirements. If you’re
concerned about athletic performance, you absolutely must consume enough calories to recover and rebuild.
Best of all, Metabolic Optimizer mixes easily and tastes terrific — not gritty or chalky-tasting. It
is a perfect balance of branched chain amino acids, high-energy carbohydrates, medium chain triglyc-erides, a super-high potency vitamin core, Pyridoxine Alpha-Ketoglutarate, special mineral complexes,
electrolytes and antioxidants. It is specially flavored (Dutch Cocoa and Vanilla Crème) and sweetened
with Sucralose.
Each serving (33.75 grams) provides a concentrated eight (8) grams of the highest quality peptide
bonded amino acids available and 20 grams of carbohydrate. These essential and non-essential amino
acids are derived from milk protein sources including whey solids, calcium caseinate, sodium casein-
ate, lactalbumin and egg albumin, some of nature’s highest protein efficiency ration (P.E.R.) sources. These specially processed nutrients provide alternative energy sources which help to minimize the
breakdown of muscle tissue protein. This complete formula also contains Pyridoxine Alpha-
Kettoglutarate, important coenzyme forms of the B-complex, vitamins, and a full complement of high-
potency vitamin, special mineral complex, electrolytes, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and other critical peak performance nutrients.

MUSCLE GAIN / TONE
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) play an integral part in the muscle building
process and are essential for energy production.
BCAA’s are different from amino acids in that they are metabolized in the muscle, not
the liver. As a result, weight training dramatically increases BCAA uptake, creating a
higher demand for them. Since Branched Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Valine and Iso-
leucine) are essential amino acids which cannot be made within the body, they must be supplied through foods and / or supplementation.
If you’re working out
hard to gain lean muscle tissue, then, the
Branched Chain Amino
Acid Formula may be
right for you.
This state-of-the-art for-
mula plays a principle
role in muscle recovery, muscle growth and en-
ergy maintenance.
It accomplishes this by precisely balancing the 3 branched chain aminos, L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine
along with a supporting amino acid complex.
It also contains the highest grade chromium (polynicotinate) and vitamin B-6 to further enhance up-
take.
Its precise formulation is based on studies conducted by the National Academy of Science. Each BCAA tablet
contains 600 mg of isolated free form and peptide bonded
Branched Chain Amino Acids.

MUSCLE GAIN / TONE
Glutamine is the most common amino acid found in your muscles - approximately 61% of skeletal muscle is Glutamine. Glutamine consists of 19% nitrogen, making it the primary transporter of nitrogen into your muscle cells. During intense training, Glutamine levels are greatly depleted in your body. This depletion decreases strength, stamina and recovery. It could take several days for Glutamine levels to return to normal. Glutamine also plays a key role in protein synthesis. Studies have shown that L-Glutamine supplementation can minimize breakdown of muscle and improve protein metabolism. Clinical studies reveal that Glutamine supplementation can help support recovery after intense training by promoting energy replenishment, maintaining a healthy immune system and by maximizing your body's buffering capacity against lactic acid build-up.
Glutamine and Training
Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Glutamine also increases your ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone, which helps me-tabolize body-fat and support new muscle growth. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles. This is especially useful for people 'cutting down'. Especially during ―off-season‖ when you may be trying to get rid of excess body-fat without losing any muscle. Because Glutamine levels deplete during workouts, bodybuilders are more susceptible to illnesses - this is why L-Glutamine supplementation is so important, not necessarily to gain more muscle, but for the 'maintenance' effects of L-Glutamine. L-Glutamine supplementation promotes a positive nitrogen balance and prevents the loss of muscle. Recent studies have shown that taking just 2 grams of L-Glutamine can increase growth hormone levels by 400%. Optimal intake times for L-Glutamine Powder is in the morning, after a workout, and at night before bed time. Glutamine also passes freely across the blood-brain barrier. Once in the brain, it's converted to glutamic acid and increases the concentration of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). Both glutamic acid and GABA are essential for proper mental function. For athletes, optimal timing for L-Glutamine Powder is one-half dose before workouts and half directly after. Some trainers also recommend taking a small dose (5 grams) at night be-fore bed time allowing for recovery.

MUSCLE GAIN / TONE
Admittedly, there are less expensive protein powders on the market -- and all over the
web. They are, however, usually inferior — from raw ingredients to the manufacturing proc-
ess. We make no apologies for our unwillingness to compromise.
This is a super high-quality optimal protein scientifically engineered for serious fitness
enthusiasts and competitive athletes.
This Whey Protein Formula starts with a proprietary blend of pure, premium quality,
partially pre-digested (hydrolyzed) and micro-filtered whey protein isolate and concentrate.
These superior proteins have been carefully processed through a series of refined, ultra-
sensitive filtration procedures. The formula calls for a low-temperature process in order to maintain and provide a full spectrum of intact bioactive peptides (beta-lactoglobulin, alpha-
lactabumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, bovine serum and lactoferrin) to help
promote maximum lean muscle development and retention.
To further enhance the product, superior flavorings such as Dutch Cocoa Chocolate
and Vanilla Crème were specially blended and incorporated with a state-of-the-art sweetener
Sucralose (as opposed to Aspartame or Acesulfame K). Nothing was spared in the develop-
ment of this formula. It is nothing short of extraordinary.

P r o t e i n
Nutritional products that contain protein (e.g., amino acid tabs, protein pow-
ders, BCAA's, etc.) are probably the most misunderstood of all nutritional supple-
ments.
People supplement their nutritional programs with protein for a variety of
reasons. Heart patients are often urged by their doctors to use protein supplementa-
tion as a source of low fat, life-sustaining protein. Individuals interested in weight/
fat-loss can also benefit from the low-calorie, high nutritional value of protein sup-plements. Additionally, underweight men, women, and children can benefit from
the use of calorie dense protein drink mixes.
Since protein supplements are easily digested and absorbed in the intestine,
they rate as one of the most effective and expedient methods of supplying anabolic
substrates for immediate availability to the body tissues.
T w o C l a s s i f i c a t i o n s o f P r o t e i n
Dietary protein is basically divided into two classifications: Complete pro-
tein sources, commonly referred to as Class I Proteins, include all animal proteins
(e.g., beef, chicken, fish, etc.) and dairy products (e.g., eggs, milk, cheese, etc.).
Class I Protein sources provide all of the essential and nonessential amino acids
necessary for proper tissue growth and metabolism. Additionally, Class I Protein sources have been found to have a high level of nitrogen retention or biological
value (BV) in the body.
Class II Protein sources include vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, and legumes.
When combined correctly, these foods offer a complete source of protein. Class II
Protein sources, however, are typically lower in biological value (B.V.), net pro-
tein utilization (N.P.U.), and protein efficiency rate (P.E.R.). These values are
developed and determined by nutritionists to measure the protein quality of various foods based upon their amino acid composition.
What you should know about Protein
Biological Value (B.V.): The percentage of absorbed nitrogen
retained in the body.
Net Protein Utilization (N.P.U.): Includes the biological value
and the degree of the food protein’s digestibility.
Protein Efficiency Ratio: (P.E.R.): This is based on the weight
gain of a growing test animal divided by its protein intake over a study
period of about 10 days. The U.S. Recommended Daily Allowance of
Class I Protein for a 150 pound male is 45 grams per day. If the same
150 pound male obtained his protein from Class II Protein sources exclu-sively, his daily protein requirement for Class II protein sources would
be 65 grams per day.
Several protein drink mixes available today are primarily comprised of carbohydrates and contain only 20 percent of Class II protein. When these
protein drink mixes are combined with the amount of milk suggested in the
mixing instructions, the percentage and quality of the protein increases
greatly. This process allows the protein manufacturers to deceptively label these products.
All protein drink mixes and amino acid formulas listed in this catalog are
derived from Class I Protein sources.
Always keep in mind that in order for a protein’s amino acids to be
available for the body's cells, the protein must be fully digested. The greater
the volume of protein consumed and the lower its N.P.U., the more energy the body will require to properly digest it, thus the longer it will take for the
amino acids to become available to the body tissues. Generally when food is
digested, it takes approximately four to five hours for the nutrients to leave
the small intestine and move to the target areas (i.e., amino pools, body tis-sues, etc.) where the amino acids are most needed. With a high quality ana-
bolic drink mix, however, this process should only require one hour.

MUSCLE GAIN / TONE
No other supplement in recent history has been more researched and scrutinized than
creatine. Today, there is little debate among fitness enthusiast and athletes — creatine
helps to increase size and strength.
This Super Creatine formula is the next generation of a more sophisticated formula. It
combines an ultrapure form of creatine monohydrate called PhosMylene with a proprie-
tary high glycemic complex called GlyceMax.
An insulin dependent process mediates creatine uptake in the muscle tissue. To ad-
dress this issue, Super Creatine’s spe-
cial proprietary high glycemic base
(containing an optimal blend of simple
sugars) stimulates the release of insu-
lin, thus, providing superior absorption
and uptake of Creatine. Super Creatine also contains Chromium
Polynicotinate and Vanadyl Sulfate to
optimize the insulin response at the
cellular level.
When used as directed, Super
Creatine can help maximize intercellu-
lar levels of high energy Creatine Phosphate to provide for rapid and
optimal ATP resynthesis. The rapid
recycling of high energy ATP
(Adenosine Triphosphate) from energy
depleted ADP (Adenosine Diposphate)
allows for more intense, powerful and
explosive muscle contractions and
more rapid and complete recovery between movements.

MUSCLE GAIN / TONE What you should know: Cycling / Loading
W h a t i s C y c l i n g ?
In the sports supplements world ―cycling‖ is a regimen where you use a supplement for a while, then
stop, then go back to using it. You go through a ―cycle‖ of use. The concept (which started with steroid
use) implies that if you give your body a constant source of a substance - it may eventually get lazy and
stop making the substance. There is no clinical proof that this is the case with supplements. Nonetheless, most athletes cycle creatine supplementation. There are several different cycling protocols depending on
activity, sports season, nutrition, etc. Check with your coach, trainer or physician.
W h a t i s L o a d i n g ?
The purpose of creatine loading is to get creatine into your system as quickly as possible. This will help your body adapt faster than would be possible without loading. The idea of using more creatine in the
intial phase may make sense for some athletes. However, this does not mean ―more is better.‖ To deter-
mine if creatine loading is appropriate for you, try to load it once, and not load it during a second cycle.
Then, track your results (this is where a daily journal would be helpful). If the results are comparable, then it is likely that creatine loading is not working for you.
If loading is part of your strategy, then, a "creatine cycle" will consist of both a loading phase and a
maintenance phase. (see side bar)
T h e D e b a t e C o n t i n u e s
Recently, there has been much debate over the benefits of a loading phase when initially supplement-
ing with creatine. It is an important question and continues to be discussed and researched in both the ath-
letic and scientific community.
To date, there is no clear scientific evidence that creatine loading is necessary to make the same gains
as without. The general consensus is that creatine loading will help most people gain muscle mass and
strength quickly at the initial phase. However, if a person plans to use creatine for a period of 12 weeks or more, he or she will experience the same overall gains at the end of that particular period. So the issue of
loading is a personal decision based on individual goals and conditioning strategies.

1. Muscle sparing L-Taurine and L-Glutamine are added to help promote and optimize lean muscle mass development during intense workouts.
2. Chromium Polynicotinate and Vanadyl Sulfate also
are added to help optimize the uptake of Super Creatine and to support the development of lean muscle mass.
3. The added sodium enhances the rapid and complete
absorption of Super Creatine.
4. Also added is an appropriate blend of phosphate substrates including: Magnesium Phosphate, Potas-sium Phosphate, Sodium Phosphate, Magnesium Glycerolphosphate and Sodium Glycerolphosphate, to promote oxidative phosphorylation, critical to the endogenous formation of ATP.
5. If you choose to embark on a loading phase take (1) scoop (50 grams) of Super Creatine (2-3) times daily. Loading phase may last (1-2) weeks. A mainte-nance phase typically requires (1-2) scoops daily and dose should be taken before and after intense train-ing. When mixed into 12-16 oz. of water, Super Creatine provides optimal Creatine supplementation in a delicious citrus flavored drink. Super Creatine requirements vary and dose should be individualized for optimal results. G.I.

SPECIALTY
This is one of our “premier,” world-class nutritional supplements. It contains an array of ingredients specially formulated in the exact combinations and quantities to provide the abso-lute best protection available for athletes, fitness enthusiasts or others who may produce high levels of molecular free radicals. You will not find an equivalent antioxidant formula anywhere in the world.
While there is much discussion over dosage requirements of antioxidants, most of it re-
volves around general consumers — not athletes or fitness enthusiasts who tend to produce more free radicals (through raised metabolism) than the inactive population. Therefore, dosage suggestions, at first glance, may seem high. You be the judge.
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals
reducing their ability to damage the cells.
In your body, certain oxygen molecules, called free radicals, are normally produced by your
body's own metabolism. But too many free radicals can cause problems. Many factors can cause your body to produce more free radicals than are needed. These may include drinking alcohol, too much fat in your diet, too much sun, intense exercise and pollutants in the air you breathe. When your body produces too many free radicals, the "extra" free radicals prey on healthy molecules. This is of particular concern to athletes.
Free radicals are extremely reactive molecules, created as a waste by-product by the body's
metabolic processes. They are so destructive that they are now regarded as primary agents of degeneration and death in nearly all living things. They have been shown to be responsible for the initiation of heart disease, aging, cancer, and other degenerative diseases.
Electrons normally exist in pairs. But free radicals have an unpaired electron. So they "raid"
other molecules in your body to get an electron to pair up with, leaving the raided molecule short an electron. This causes changes in molecules (oxidation) that can eventually lead to dis-ease.
Antioxidants prevent this process by releasing unpaired electrons to "neutralize" the harm-
ful, free radicals (which then do not need to "raid" healthy molecules and cause oxidation).

More About Antioxidants The antioxidant defense systems in the human body are extensive and consist of multiple layers that protect at different sites and against different types of free radicals. An important part of the intracellular antioxidant defense systems are antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and peroxi-dases. The enzyme SOD dismutates two molecules of O2-per reaction cycle, i.e., oxidizes one molecule of O2- to O2 and, with the electron released during this oxi-dation process, reduces a second O2- molecule to H2O2 ( 2O2*- + 2H+ O2 + H2O2). In addition to these antioxidant enzymes, there are several small molecule antioxi-dants that also play an important role in antioxidant defense systems, particularly in the extracellular space, where antioxidant enzymes are absent or present in small quantities only. The small molecule antioxidants can be separated into lipid-soluble and water-soluble antioxidants. The lipid-soluble antioxidants are localized to membranes and lipoproteins, whereas the water-soluble ones are present in extracellular and intracellular fluids. Antioxidants, have been found to slow, block or reverse oxidative changes in body substances and cells. For example, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) prevents the conversion of nitrates (from tobacco smoke, smog, bacon, lunch meats, & some vegetables) into cancer-causing substances. Vitamin E retards cellular aging due to oxidation. It also helps to block oxida-tion that converts LDL cholesterol from a form that stays in the blood to a form that can stick to and clog arteries (atherosclerotic plaque buildups). Natural and synthetic antioxidants are added to food to prevent undesirable deterioration. Foods preserved with antioxidants include vegetable oils, bread, and cheese. Antioxidants are also frequently applied to the packaging materials of cere-als and nuts. Basically, antioxidants have the ability to trap organic free radicals and/or deactivate excited oxygen molecules. Practically speaking, they play a significant role in the prevention of aging, atherosclerosis (heart disease), certain types of cancer, cataracts, inflammatory-immune injuries / auto-immune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus), ARDS (Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome), AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), etc.

Vitamin C Super Crystals may not be the most "sexy" formulation -- however, it is one of
the most vital. These fine Vitamin C super crystals mix easily with water, fruit or vegetable
juices. A big advantage of powdered Vitamin C is that it is absorbed quickly and easily, thus it's
optimally utilized by the body. Each teaspoon of Vitamin C Powder supplies 1.5 grams of pure Vitamin C (Potassium and
Magnesium Ascorbate), a buffered ascorbate formulation so it is easily-digested and absorbed
without stomach upset.
About Vitamin C
In the 70 years since its discovery, Vitamin C is perhaps the most widely known and most
popular nutritional supplement.
In addition to its role in collagen formation and other life-sustaining functions, Vitamin C
serves as a key immune system nutrient and a potent free-radical fighter.
Some of the world's most notable doctors and scientists have endorsed Vitamin C supple-
mentation including Linus Pauling, Abram Hoffer, Robert Cathcart, Matthias Rath, Irwin Stone,
Frederick R. Klenner, Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw and host of others.
We depend on Vitamin C for many aspects of our biochemical functioning, yet human be-
ings cannot produce their own supply of Vitamin C. We have no choice but to obtain this nutri-
ent in our menu plan. Considering the many benefits Vitamin C may provide the mandate is
clear.

The term ―Vitamin E‖ refers to a family of eight related, lipid-soluble, antioxidant com-
pounds widely distributed in plants. The tocopherol and tocotrienol subfamilies are each com-posed of alpha, beta, gamma and delta vitamers having unique biological effects. Different ra-
tios of these compounds are found in anatomically different parts of a plant. For example, the
green parts of a plant contain mostly alpha tocopherol and the seed germ and bran contain
mostly tocotrienols.
Natural vitamin E is an essential vitamin that helps boost the immune system, and pro-
motes healthy cardiovascular function. It is also beneficial in the maintenance of healthy brain
cells, and aids in most aspects of a healthy body.
While 400 IU or more of supplemental vitamin E a day has been shown to reduce the risk
of heart attacks in healthy people, those with pre-existing coronary artery disease often take 800
to 1600 IU a day based on the pioneering work of the Shute brothers in the mid 1940s and other studies that have continued to prove the benefits of high doses of vitamin E.
The natural blend of vitamin E is up to a 3X more effective antioxidant when compared to
synthetic vitamin E.
Natural food sources of Vitamin E include: wheat germ, avocado, whole grain products,
egg yolk, nuts, liver and peanut butter.

Co Q-10, a complex organic compound also know as ubiquinone, is produced naturally in all plants and animals. It is an essential nutrient that supplies the biochemical "spark" that creates cellular energy. What does this mean? It means that Co Q-10 is critical to the pro-duction of energy within each cell in the human body. This ―spark‖ is especially important to athletes and lifestyle enthusiasts who have an interest in ATP production as well as recovery. Here’s why. Co Q-10, as with all enzymes consists of two parts - a protein and either a mineral or vita-
min. When coupled with a vitamin, it is referred to as a co-enzyme. Co Enzyme Q-10 serves
as a catalyst in several chemical reactions that lead to the production of energy – in this case,
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate - see Super Creatine) As you already know, it is critical for
athletes and fitness enthusiasts to constantly replenish their ATP supply. Co Q-10 helps facili-tate this process.
The ability of the human body to manufacture its own Co Q-10 can decrease with age.
Without it, muscles, nerve impulses and body organ activities may slow down.
Overall, Co Q-10 can:
Help in fat loss programs as it helps stimulate the body's metabolism
Help in cell respiration, electron transfer, ATP production and the control of oxidation
reactions
Play a key role in treatment of cardiovascular illnesses, including congestive heart failure

CAL MAG ZINC
For athletes and fitness enthusiasts, Calcium is vital for building and maintaining strong
bones, blood clotting, muscle function, release of hormones and enzymes as well as assisting
nerves in transmitting impulses.
This unique 3-in-1 formula also includes Magnesium (500 mg per two tablets) which is
needed for making new cells, activating B vitamins, relaxing muscles, clotting blood, energy metabolism, and is concentrated in the bones and teeth. It also helps keep cells electrically sta-
ble, maintains proper blood pressure, and, with calcium, regulates energy levels and maintains
normal heart function and nerve transmission.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral necessary for the activity of more than 300 differ-
ent enzymes. Special chelates ("claws" that hold the nutrient and allow for better
bioavailability) enhance the delivery and utilization of the minerals.
Vitamin D has been added to the formulation as it aids in the absorption of calcium from the intestinal tract and the breakdown and assimilation of phosphorus — which is
required for bone formation.
Glutamic Acid and Betaine HCI help with digestion and absorption.

Adequate levels of EPA and DHA are essential to maintaining our cardiovascular system
in good health. Different scientific studies on the oil of ocean-water fish have demonstrated
that EPA and DHA reduce the "bad" cholesterol (the low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL)
and raise the "good" cholesterol (the high density lipoprotein HDL). These fatty acids assist in lowering blood pressure by helping to reduce arterial constriction. They also help lower blood
fat, known as triglycerides, which if elevated will present significant risk for heart disease. EPA
and DHA significantly reduce the risk of inappropriate blood clotting. Inappropriate blood
clotting can also lead to a stroke or a pulmonary embolism, which can be life threatening like a heart attack.
B e n e f i t s B e y o n d t h e H e a r t
The focus on heart disease makes good sense since half of North American deaths are from
cardiovascular disorders. Yet, EPA and DHA enhance the health of all other body systems as
well. DHA is very important to the brain, retina, testes, and adrenal glands for facilitating
optimal functioning. Inadequate DHA in the brain is thought to be an important contributing
factor in many of its functional problems, including depression, and more recently, Attention
Deficit Disorder (ADD) has been tentatively linked with inadequate brain DHA.
E P A a n d D H A t h e N a t u r a l W a y
Eating fresh ocean fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, herring, etc. at least three times per
week will supply EPA and DHA in adequate amounts. However if fish or their oils are not
appealing, you can turn to flaxseed oil, a land-based source of omega-3 oil. Flax seed oil pro-
vides linolenic acid, which needs to be converted by your body into EPA and DHA. For many
North Americans, the conversion is difficult because of dietary habits.

Using Flax Seed Oil on a regular basis can supply the essential fatty acids, amino acids,
anti-oxidants and phyto-nutrients needed to repair nails, skin cells and hair follicles.
It can also shield the skin from wrinkling and boost production of new skin, hair and nails.
More importantly, the high lignan Omega-3 constituents of Flaxseed Oil can lower risks of
breast and colon cancer, help to restore proper metabolic function and enable the excretion of
fat and toxins that are trapped within the tissues.

In their healthy state, the surface of our eyes has a protective coating called tear film that helps keep the eye moist underneath. When there is a dietary imbalance of the ratio of healthy
fats (omega-3) to unhealthy fats (omega-6), the tear film becomes inflamed and weak, resulting
in dry eye.
The dry, itchy, sand-in-your-eye feeling known as "dry eye" affects over 59 million
Americans and is their top complaint at the eye doctor. And, it is also a major complaint of
those who undergo lasik, laser or other kinds of corrective eye surgery.
Recently, researchers in the Harvard Women's Health Study have discovered a dietary
link to this irritating condition: a lack of healthy fats in the diet. Specifically, eating sufficient
quantities of omega-3 fatty acids and keeping omega-6 fatty acids to a minimum helped to
significantly lower study subjects' risk of developing dry eye.
